Earlier photos found of the MGBGTV8 bought at ACA auction One of two MGBGTV8s from a "Norfolk collection" came up for auction in January 2018. From our Pricewatch reports it was clear the two cars were in a very grim state as they had been stored outside and rust had taken hold in major way. At the auction each car is reported to have sold for £4,240 including the buyer's premium and VAT. Progress reports on this major rebuild will follow.

More Following the auction at Anglia Car Auctions (ACA) on Saturday 27th January 2018, we heard from a longstanding V8 Register member that he had bought one of the two MGBGTV8s listed for sale. Not long after the auction, a longstanding V8 Register member was in touch to say he had bought Blaze 0115 and intends restoring it as it is a very early car with some history. A key planning decision will be whether to reshell the car or take on a major bodywork repair workload. He knew the car was originally a press car with BLMC Publicity at Longbridge in June 1973. An MGBGTV8 Factory production records report for HOH 904L from the V8 Register showed it was GD2D1115G. To gather the history of the car the new owner sought photos as they would certainly help to determine if there were any other areas of the car that he should use as a reference. Fellow MGBGTV8 enthusiast and author of the popular MGV8 books, David Knowles, promptly provided a photo saying "I do recall photographing HOH 904L at an event with a few 'classic cars' in Wadebridge, North Cornwall in the 1970s or very early 1980s when on a family holiday, and I will happily send you a copy". A few days later the photo above arrived with a note saying "I found my photo - the tax disc looks like 1984, so the photo was taken in 1983-84." He added when looking back over magazine articles, there was sometimes a bit of what one might politely term 'flexibility' at MG and Austin-Morris Publicity when it came to number plates, which were occasionally swapped between vehicles in photo shoots where a neat and tidy photo was all that was important at the time!"
